Chapter 925 Sneaking into Akatsukis New Base

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Amidst the bursts of air-cutting sound breaking through the air, the puppet of Hyuga Aoki traveled through the terrain of the Land of the Rain as he made his way toward the Land of the Grass.

Unexpectedly, despite being a puppet it is quite nimble and easy to control; it seems Sasori did put a lot of effort into meeting Aokis requirements. The puppet muttered.

The one controlling the puppet wasnt Hyuga Aoki; how could he be controlling the puppet? He is already dead and turned into dust heck, even his dust has been buried several feet under the ground in an unknown region of the Land of Rain.

So yes, the one controlling the puppet is Hyuga Kuroto, and he is surprised to find how easy it is to control his puppet.

He doesnt know the details about the materials Sasori might have used to make this puppet; however, it is safe to say that all the materials used are the best of the best this continent has to offer.

As for the reason why Kuroto is controlling this puppet to make his way to the Land of Grass?

Its to try and rescue Naruto.

Because Kuroto has read Aokis memories through the memory ball, therefore, he understands not only the terms of cooperation between him and the Akatsuki Organization but also knows where their current base of operation is located.

When Kuroto learned from the memories of his Shadow Clone that Naruto was captured by Nagato, he devised the plan of sneaking into the Akatsuki Organizations base of operation as Hyuga Aokis puppet and using the element of surprise to create an opportunity for Kakashi so that he could rescue Naruto.

With such a thought, Aoki or Kuroto sped up and quickly arrived in the hinterlands of the Land of Grass.

Based on the information Kuroto had extracted from Aokis memory ball, Kuroto knows that the new base of operation of the Akatsuki Organization is somewhere within the mountain range of the northwest of the country.

Of course, this is not their only base of operation. There are several other bases, but this is the base that Aoki is supposed to know, and is supposed to come here after this operation, thats why he has come here. Because there are multiple bases, whether he will be able to encounter Naruto or not depends on luck.

Hopefully Nagato and Konan did not take Naruto somewhere else, otherwise things will get messier, muttered Kuroto as he proceeded toward his goal.

When traversing through the lands of the Land of Grass, Kuroto became cautious, not because there is a possibility of encountering other members of the Akatsuki Organization, but because there is a possibility of encountering shinobi of Kusagakure.

This is something of a code of conduct within the Akatsuki these days: never let anyone unknown notice your movements, and all the members are following this code of conduct, so he too has to follow this code of conduct, lest he might get noticed by some Kusagakure shinobi. Although he can easily deal with them even if they do notice him, he wants to avoid any kind of hassle if at all possible.

Traveling carefully, Kuroto soon arrived at the mountain range.

The mountain range that the Akatsuki Organization is one of the biggest mountain ranges on this continent, and it covers not only the Land of Grass, but also spans across the Land of Earth and many other countries with rocky and mountain terrain. It wouldnt even be far-fetched to say that it is tens of thousands of miles long.

If not for Aokis memory, finding their base in this place would have taken a lot of effort. Kuroto murmured with a sigh as he looked at the horizon.

The morning light of the sun had lit the horizon, dispersing the haze and darkness of the night.

Its already dawn, huh? muttered Kuroto, as he realized that he could no longer delay.

Roar!

As he approached the base of Akatsuki, a roar resounded through the mountains. Hearing the roar, Kuroto couldnt help but mutter, This is a tailed beast, right?

It wasnt difficult to figure out that this is the roar made by a tailed beast when it is fully released!

Perhaps because there is a barrier around Akatsukis base that restricted Byakugans penetrative vision, and also restricted any Chakra leakage outside the base, so Kuroto couldnt identify which tailed beast it is. Worried, he quickened his pace, and as soon as he flew over a hill, he finally saw the scene that relieved him a little.

He was worried that the tailed beast that had roared was the Nine-Tails.

Thankfully, it wasnt the Nine-Tails, it was the eight tails!

This means Naruto is not dead at least not yet, hopefully, he thought as he paid close attention to the scene.

Upon closer look, Kuroto discovered that Killer Bee wasnt dead either; rather, he had released the Eight Tails by transforming into the final form of Jinchuriki Mode and was fiercely fighting with Sasoris puppets.

Apart from Sasoriwho is fighting Killer Beethere are several other members of the Akatsuki watching the show from a distance. From their expression, its quite obvious that they are enjoying the show and have no intention of stepping forward to join the battle.

As Kuroto observed the battle, the others noticed him; however, none of them appeared to be openly hostile.

Seeing that he had been spotted, Kuroto flew down.

As soon as he landed beside them, Madara, questioned, How did it go? Did you manage to kill the person you wanted to kill?

Noting that neither Madara nor Zetsu was suspicious, Kuroto breathed a sigh of relief and answered in the tone of voice and speaking manner of Aoki, There was a little accident, so I had to cut short and leave Konoha immediately

Yes, I saw it too The accident it should be the surprising strength of the Godaime Hokage Hyuga Kuroto, right? said Zetsu with a smile, and added, Really it was surprising It seems your clansmen is not as simple as he appears to be on the surface Even though you managed to open the Box of Bliss and release Satori, Hyuga Kuroto defeated it alone with very little effort.

Humph, so what if he has that unexpected strength it doesnt change the fact that he is still a slave of the main family! snorted Kuroto, and tried to find Nagato, Konan, as well as Naruto.

Quite a few members of Akatsuki are missing, including Nagato, Konan, Kisame, Kakuzu, and Hidan, so Kuroto doesnt know whether they have yet to arrive, or they will go to some other base of Akatsuki. It will be troublesome if I have to pretend to be Aoki more than necessary.

Madara nodded in disdain, Yeah, it is indeed surprising didnt expect that guy to be the one in possession of Ryumyaku but its only Ryumyaku, whats the big deal about it? At best, he is as strong as the other Kages, or maybe a little stronger than them!

Zetsu said, That may be so however, this at least shows that he was able to hide this information for more than a decade without anyone ever discovering it or even being suspicious perhaps you should deal with him a little more seriously from now on.

Madara suddenly thought of something and couldnt help but wonder, Come to think of it, why did he hide it for so long?

Kuroto answered, Perhaps he did not want the main family to learn about it; these greedy fools would have definitely desired it had they learned about it.

He wants everyone to think that its because of the vigilance against the main family of the Hyuga Clan that he has been restrained and hasnt used Ryumyaku, which is why he suggested this. After all, people would question him as to why he has never used Ryumyaku in the past decade.

Madara nodded, Makes sense and added, And now that he is Hokage, he no longer fears the possibility of Hyuga Clans main fmily stealing it from him so he was able to reveal it.

At this time, Zetsu said, Yes, he is now Hokage, and he has the power of Ryumyaku are we sure that he will continue to give us the inside information that we want from him?
